Tie fighter dodge

Is anyone else having trouble fighting against tie fighter? For a couple months now the ship dodges maybe 5 or 6 times in a row on defense. When I use tie on offense, I will not dodge at all or maybe once. The only times I have managed to beat a tie on offense is with thrawn's instantly defeat target. I started avoiding teams that use it because every single time for 2 months it dodges every single time. Am I having the world's worst rng run or is it heavily skewed in defense favor?
  • It's bad luck, as well as perception/confirmation bias.

    Use Poe, he blows those things out of the sky. Assists also work well, since they double the chances of someone hitting. Each flagship has a way of taking it down, which generally boils down to ignoring it: Endurance target locks it somehow (TIE Advance, 5s, etc) and then takes it out with its AoE. Executrix waits until Imperial Assault is available. Chimaera waits until its atuo-kill is available. Home One is the only one that really actively goes after it, using its basic (and the AoE once you have some buffed ships) to just overwhelm it with attacks. Alternatively, with Home One you can wait until Master Plan comes up and then use Poe's special back to back.
  • Poe and vader are some good bets to take him down.

    it comes and goes, no worries just RNG.
  • But 2 months of this rng? Just did another match, same result. he dodged everything the whole match again. Chimera aoes, fives had mauls stealth retribution and he dodged every single retribution. Dodged vader attack, dodged ghost stealth assist. Is it also being in top 100 and tfp is probably gear 11 or 12?
  • Vader's attack can't be dodged. Without a video, I don't believe this at all.

    Vaders basic cant be dodged. It even works through foresight. Thats how you wear down the tie fighter

    I disagree, the ship is insanely op with dodging on defense, I place 1st in arena every day, so I know how to defeat the ship, but it’s nuts, It’s totally different when you’re facing it compared to when using it.

    Also Poe’s ship is great for hitting it, correct, but who uses Poe’s ship in their initial line up ? nobody, by the time you call that ship in from reinforcements it could be all over.

    I’m not saying it should be nerfed, as I also use the ship in defense, any problems I have with it, my enemies are also having, but it’s not balanced at all.

    I have had Vader’s debuff dodged/resisted before, but can’t remember if he’s basic has been.
  • His basic literally can't be evaded or resisted, it's written so on the ability text. His special however can be evaded/resisted, so always finish off the TIE with Vader basic. I even use Chimera to call Vader for Assist to guarantee the hit.
  • Ah, explains it then. I do hit once and get target lock but that was the only hit before biggs taunt and vader dies. Did try poe and tie couldn't dodge but need to level him up more. Ship is only level 70 so didn't do much damage haha
